A seems unlikely. They should reduce inventory, not increase it.

I agree, but D could also be important. Detailed forecasts help in planning.

I think C is the best choice. Phantom bills are crucial for finish-to-order.

Yeah, I doubt that too. Finish-to-order usually means lower stock.

Increased inventory levels? Not likely with finish-to-order.

I’m leaning towards C as well, but I wonder if they might actually need more training in the centers instead of less.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think D makes sense because detailed forecasts would help in a finish-to-order setup.

I remember a practice question about training needs in distribution centers. I feel like C could be a possibility since they might need new planning processes.

I think the transition to finish-to-order means they won't need as much inventory, so maybe A is wrong?
